Hi im new to lockpicking, I have been trying to pick a master lock no 1.

I'm new also, I would suggest looking for pd's exercise on here, i've been working my.way through ot and definitely.helping me get a feel for what's going on in there. There's also a glossary in the FAQ area to make it easier to explain what parts you are referring to.
